Abstract: The invention relates to a novel positive working photosensitive composition having: at least one photoacid generator; at least one novolak polymer; at least one polymer, having a polymer backbone, said polymer comprising a structure of the following formula: wherein R1-R5 are, independently, —H or —CH3, A is a linear or branched C1-C10 alkylene group, B is a C1-C12 alkyl or alicyclic group, D is a linking group that may be a chemical bond, a carboxylate group, wherein the carbonyl carbon is bonded to the polymer backbone, or a —COOCH2— group, wherein the carbonyl carbon is bonded to the polymer backbone, Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group or heteroaromatic group, E is a linear or branched C2-C10 alkylene group, G is an acid cleavable group. The invention further relates to a process for using the novel composition for forming an image.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for negative-working thick film photophotoresists based on acrylic co-polymers. Also included are methods of using the compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a photosensitive composition comprising a heterocyclic thiol compound or tautomeric form thereof and its method of use on a substrate, which may include a chalcophile substrate.
